Nadeshiko Japan faces North Korea in the women's soccer final of the Aichi/Nagoya Asian Games. China Kamiya, who scored two goals in the semi-finals, has scored in five consecutive games and will be at the top of her game with a personal record at stake.

On the 1st, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp issued suspension notices to four players believed to be involved in the zombie cigarette scandal: Kaito Kozono, Masaya Yano, Shunsuke Tamura, and Seita Maekawa. Kozono was the Central League's top hitter last season, and Yano won the Golden Glove Award two years ago, so the team faces major issues in terms of player management and organization due to the loss of their main players.

The Japanese national soccer team will play against South American rival Ecuador. Although they struggled to break down their strong defense, they won the penalty shootout and won. Although Kubo and Doyasu displayed a variety of attacks, their scoring ability remained an issue. It was a practical dry run for the Asia Cup.

Shin Ohashi (17) of Hirakata SS set a world record in the men's 200m breaststroke at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games with a time of 2 minutes 4.83 seconds. Until now, he had not placed much emphasis on the 200m, but in preparation for the Asian Games, he devoted himself to training and took on top athletes with his amazing endurance and stroke rate, which compensated for his small stature. Analyzing the kicks of four-time Paris Olympic champion Leon Marchand and incorporating them into his own swimming style led to his breakthrough. Marchand himself was wary of Ohashi's rapid growth and expressed his hopes for him to achieve the feat of winning two consecutive Olympics in the future.

In preparation for the Kirin Cup match against Ecuador, the Japanese national team additionally called up defender Henry Kaiteru Mochizuki (FC Machida Zelvia) and defender Hayato Araki (Sanfrecce Hiroshima) due to injuries to the defense. Mochizuki will be playing for the national team for the first time since October last year, while Araki will be called up for the first time since September last year, with both players aiming to earn a spot on the national team ahead of the next World Cup in North and Central America.

On the 12th day (30th) of the Aichi/Nagoya Asian Games, Hayato Kondo, a male judo player in the 60kg class, and Mizuki Kondo, a female judo athlete in the 48kg class, won gold medals as brother and sister. Taizo Yoshida won gold in the men's Greco-Roman style wrestling, Kyotaro Sogabe won silver, and Ami Ishii won gold in the women's 68kg class. In the men's sport climbing boulder event, Hiroto Anraku won his second straight gold and Chia Narasaki won bronze. Japanese teams won medals in swimming, canoeing, cycling, soccer, and hockey, and the U21 men's soccer team defeated Uzbekistan in a penalty shootout to advance to the final.
